Container structure formed with metal and plastic bonded together

ABSTRACT

A container structure formed with metal and plastic bonded together in the invention has an outer body made of a metal material and provided with perforated holes thereon, and an insert body made of a plastic material, whereby the insert body is first heated with high temperature, inserted into the outer body, and then fed in blow air with a blowing machine so that the insert body is expanded and attached to an inner surface of the outer body and further extended into and filled up the perforated holes so as to be tightly bonded with the outer body to form an integral one. The container will represent a three-dimensional and multi-layered aestheticism to increase its commercial value; the metal-made outer body can reinforce the rigidness of the container to be more durable in use; the plastic-made insert body is convenient for cleaning an interior of the container.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention relates to a container structure formed with metaland plastic bonded together, particularly to one consisting of an outerbody made of a metal material and provided with a plurality ofperforated holes disposed thereon, and an insert body made of a plasticmaterial, whereby the insert body is first heated with high temperature,inserted into the outer body, and then fed in blow air with a blowingmachine so that the insert body can be expanded outwardly under the blowair to be attached to an inner surface of the outer body and further tobe extended into and filled up the plurality of perforated holes of theouter body so as to be tightly bonded with the outer body to form anintegral one, by which the container of the present invention isfinished. The container is capable of representing a three-dimensionaland multi-layered aestheticism to increase its value in commerce; themetal-made outer body is capable of greatly reinforcing the rigidness ofthe container to be more durable in use; the plastic-made insert body isconvenient for cleaning an interior of the container.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] Generally speaking, conventional containers have interiorsprovided with hollow space for being filled with articles and exteriorsprovided with fixed shapes, such as cylinders, polygonal columns, etc.Moreover, most of the containers are printed with patterns or words onthe exteriors for increasing their changes in design, but such patternsor words are only plane designs without any three-dimensional ormulti-layered aestheticism. In addition, such conventional containersare generally made of metal only, glass only, potter's clay only,porcelain clay only, or acry only. The containers made of the metalmaterial are advantaged in their good heat-conduction in a short time,but are troublesome for the need of brushing utensils in cleaning.However, the containers made of the other materials are fragile andrater easily broken, which is always required to be very careful in use.As can be realized from the above description, the shortcomings of theknown conventional containers have been presented. Therefore, thepresent invention is to create a novel, aesthetic but utilityconstruction to overcome the shortcomings of the known conventionalcontainers

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The main purpose of the invention is to offer a containerstructure formed with metal and plastic bonded together that is capableof representing a three-dimensional and multi-layered aestheticism,rigid and durable in use, and convenient in cleaning.

[0006] The main feature of the invention is to provide a containerstructure formed with metal and plastic bonded together, mainlyincluding:

[0007] an outer body made of a metal material and provided with aplurality of perforated holes disposed thereon;

[0008] an insert body made of a plastic material; and,

[0009] whereby the insert body is first heated with high temperature,inserted into the outer body, and then fed in blow air with a blowingmachine so that the insert body can be expanded outwardly under the blowair to be attached to an inner surface of the outer body and further tobe extended into and filled up the plurality of perforated holes of theouter body so as to be tightly bonded with the outer body to form anintegral one, by which the container of the present invention isfinished.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0016] A preferred embodiment of a container structure formed with metaland plastic bonded together in the present invention, as shown in FIG.1, mainly includes an outer body 1 made of a metal material and aninsert body 2 made of a plastic material.

[0017] The outer body 1 is provided with an opening 10 disposed at a topthereof and a plurality of perforated holes 11 disposed on acircumferential wall surface thereon. The perforated holes 11 may bedesigned to be round holes, star-shaped holes, fruit-shaped holes, etc.

[0018] The container structure formed with metal and plastic bondedtogether in the present invention can be finished with the followingworking steps, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0019] 1. The plastic-made insert body 2 is first heated with hightemperature.

[0020] 2. The heated insert body 2 is then inserted into the outer body1, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0021] 3. The insert body 2 placed in the outer body 1 is fed in blowair with a blowing machine (not shown).

[0022] 4. The blown insert body 2 is then expanded outwardly to beattached to an inner surface of the outer body 1, and further to beextended into and filled up the plurality of perforated holes 11 of theouter body I so as to be tightly bonded with the outer body 1 to form anintegral one, by which the container of the present invention isfinished, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

[0023] With the above-mentioned components and working steps, thecontainer of the present invention is capable of representing athree-dimensional and multi-layered aestheticism to increase its valuein commerce; the metal-made outer body 1 is capable of greatlyreinforcing the rigidness of the container to be more durable in use;the plastic-made insert body 2 is convenient for cleaning an interior ofthe container.

[0024] Moreover, the container of the present invention may be designedto be cups, sealable canisters, bottles, buckets, pots, jars, etc. forbeing filled with a wide variety of articles therein.

[0025] While the preferred embodiment of the invention has beendescribed above, it will be recognized and understood that variousmodifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intendedto cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit andscope of the invention.

What is claimed is:
 1. A container structure formed with metal andplastic bonded together, comprising: an outer body made of a metalmaterial and provided with a plurality of perforated holes disposedthereon; an insert body made of a plastic material; and, whereby saidinsert body is first heated with high temperature, inserted into saidouter body, and then fed in blow air with a blowing machine so that saidinsert body can be expanded outwardly under the blow air to be attachedto an inner surface of said outer body and further to be extended intoand filled up said plurality of perforated holes of said outer body soas to be tightly bonded with said outer body to form an integral one, bywhich said container of the present invention is finished.
